Rated 4 out of 5 by from Danby garage ready 7 cubic foot chest freezer, working great so far after just 4 days of usage. I bought this Danby 7 cubic foot chest freezer New Years day 2025 because my old GE 7 cubic foot chest freezer was bought used back in the late 1990's, maybe earlier, is still working but has a hard time keeping ice cream hard especially when it's more than ½ full. On the new Danby I set the temp to about 5 of 7 on the dial and within 4 hours the interior temp was around -5 to -10 °F or -20 to -23 °C. The next day I transferred ½ of the food from my really old GE freezer to my new Danby freezer. 2 days later everything is still frozen and the ice cream is now rock hard. Although I rated this 4 out of 5, it's meaningless until several years of usage have passed.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Vraiment bon produit C'est notre troisième produit Danby. Le premier étant un réfrigérateur d'environ 10 pi cubes. Il date de plus de 37 ans. Il appartenait à ma belle-mère et nous en avons hérité. Il fonctionne 12 mois par année et est super pratique. Il n'a jamais failli. Notre deuxième produit était un congélateur coffre de 7 pi cubes. Malheureusement, il nous a lâché aussitôt la garantie expirée. Et nous venons de le remplacer par le même produit, un congélateur coffre de 7 pi cubes tout neuf. Nous envisageons remplacer l'été prochain le réfrigérateur et le poêle de la cuisine par des produits Danby.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lasted 18 years. Well it finally happened. My 7 cu ft Danby freezer stopped working today. Eighteen years ago we bought all new high end appliances when we moved into our new home. We couldn’t afford a high end deep freeze so we bought an inexpensive Danby deep freeze, hoping it would last us 5 years. Well, here we are 18 years later. Today I am heading to the city and will be purchasing another Danby.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Well designed freezer As a single person, a 7 cubic foot freezer is perfect for my needs. I especially appreciate having a defrost drain at the bottom to make cleaning easier. I would have liked to have an extra basket come with the appliance, but the baskets from my old freezer fit just fine. Runs quietly and I like having the operating lights so I can tell at a glance if it's working.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great little freezer. This little freezer runs very well, and is very easy to defrost. I gave it a 4 star rating because the interior does dent very easily, especially is you store bags of ice in it for summer. Otherwise it is the perfect size for one person and a beautiful little unit with a 5 year warranty to boot!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Danby 7 cu. ft freezer DCF070A5WDB This Danby 7 cu. ft freezer is to replace the old one that I had for 15 years. The new model has a lot of good improvements over the old design. The built quality is excellent and I expect it to be as durable as the old one.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from My old Danby freezer was so good that when it gave out Idid not hesitate to buy the same brand. Had a Danby 9 cu. ft. freezer previously that lasted 16 years. No problems with it. Bought a 7 cu. ft. this time because my needs are less but still a lot of storage room in this new one. Takes up very little space in my garage. The 5 year warranty is great, as most only offer 1 or 2 years. Let it "settle" for 6 hrs. after delivery then plugged it in. Ready to go in the morning. Unit is extremely light in weight. Easy for this senior to unbox and move into place.

Is it suitable to put in the garage. I live in the North East in North America, where the winters can be very cold and summers very hot. The garage is NOT insulated

Asked by: easy
Hi, Thanks for your inquiry! Yes, the Danby DCF070A5WDB is classified as "Garage Ready." This means it can perform efficiently in a wide range of temperatures, from 0°F to 110°F (-17°C to 43°C). However, if the garage gets colder than the freezer's rated temperature range, the compressor may not run as often because the external temperature is already cold. This could cause the internal temperature to rise above freezing, potentially leading to thawing of the freezer contents. Regards, Jog

does the lid stay open? The old Danby model i have doesn't.

Asked by: Cathy
Hello Cathy, thank you for your inquiry. The Danby chest freezer model DCF070A5WDB is equipped with counter-balance hinges that allow the lid to stay open at any angle. This feature makes it convenient to access the contents without needing to hold the lid up manually. Regards, Apratim
